One would expect performance for userspace implementations to be lower than for the kernel module, but perhaps with some work to integrate netmap or Intel DPDK it could get pretty close. > > Fourth, if you port the kernel module to a permissively licensed kernel like NetBSD or FreeBSD, it’s conceivable Jason would work with you on the license. If I recall correctly. early in Wireguard’s development, Jason said he was open to licensing his code to match the kernels for which it’s destined (e.g., BSD license for a port to a BSD kernel). That was years ago, but it might be worth inquiring. > > > Good luck, > George > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Apr 17, 2019, at 3:32 AM, bhashkar prakash Singh <singh.bhashkar@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I want to integrate Wireguard to my confidential project.

Please consult with your lawyers, they will know the answer to this question. If you do not have a lawyer, then just release the code to all of your project to be safe, as obviously there is no assets involved :) Good luck! greg k-h _______________________________________________ WireGuard mailing list WireGuard@lists.zx2c4.com https://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/wireguard ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
